Seeing that the King of Jin had promised, the Queen of Jin's face was considerably more pleasant.
But still felt dissatisfied.
She looked at the Grandmother Sun beside her and instructed, "Grandmother Sun, you go to Marquis Yongling's residence personally and discuss Yu Wan's actions with Marquis Yongling. Remember to talk privately, don't let outsiders hear."
Although the Marquis Yongling's residence is not as grand as before, there are still some connections in the court. It is better to curb Li Luoshu's rise by leveraging the Marquis Yongling's influence before it becomes too powerful.
"Yes, my lady."
Grandmother Sun respectfully assented and soon retreated.
Yu Yao doesn't know what's going on with the Queen of Jin, as she is busy counting her dowry.
This dowry is from the Marquis Yongling's residence, but now it benefits Yu Wan.
The dowry consists of a total of thirty-two sedan chairs, which is the standard for noble girls in the capital.
Although there are many, only a few of them are valuable, and they are not very practical.
The silver tickets and jewelry are not listed in the dowry list, important items were taken away by Yu Wan in advance.
Fortunately, she doesn't mind.
Yu Yao instructed the maids to put the dowry into the treasury and lay down on the Guixi bed, leisurely.
Thinking that she had never asked about the task content, she inwardly asked the system, "Tongtong, besides giving birth, do I have any other tasks? Or is there any wish left by the previous host?"
The system quickly responded, "Ding, the first task is to give birth to the heir of Nangong Yanyang, and the second task is to ensure that Li Luoshu's mother has no grandson to hold, and it would be best if she returns to her hometown."
Yu Yao's lips twitched, and it was clearly a problem between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law.
"Tongtong, did the previous host have a very bad relationship with Li Luoshu's mother?" she asked with a smile in her heart.
"Not only did it go beyond a bad relationship, it was almost like being enemies. Li Luoshu's mother is very biased towards boys, and when the previous host was married to him, she gave birth to two daughters in a row, which caused her mother-in-law to dislike and torment her in many ways. This led to the previous host not being able to sit well during her postpartum period and developed some lingering health issues."
The system smiled and continued.
"Although the previous host later gave birth to three sons, Li Luoshu's mother still had a grudge against her and often used filial piety as an excuse to control her. The previous host was very honest, and it can be said that she endured a lot of suffering at the hands of Li Luoshu's mother throughout her life. It wasn't until Li Luoshu's mother died that she finally felt relieved."
Yu Yao nodded in understanding, it's no wonder the previous host had such a wish.
She felt that the previous host was really kind, if it were her, the old lady could die.
"All right, I understand."
She nodded slightly.
It's not easy to drive Li Luoshu's mother away to the countryside. She is not at the Imperial Examination Estate, and it's not easy to make a move.
However, it could be possible to use Yu Wan's hand to make them, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, fight each other.
Yu Wan is not as simple-minded as the previous host. She is not afraid of taking a little bit of loss.
Nothing like filial piety in Yu Wan's eyes is just nonsense. At that time, the two women-in-law will definitely fight very excitingly.
But how to make them fight is a problem.
She suddenly had an idea, "Tongtong, can you directly give them a drug?"
"Can do." the system replied.
"Give Li Luoshu the 'Give Birth to a Daughter Pill' for me."
She said to the system.
Li Luoshu's mother isn't biased towards boys, so let her son only have daughters from now on. Then, seeing one daughter after another born, but without a single grandson in sight, that would be so much fun.
That's more interesting than giving Li Luoshu a sterilization drug, making him unable to have children.
"I remember that in my previous world, I bought many of these type of pill, just give one to Li Luoshu directly."
Yu Yao said again.
"All right."
The system nodded and gave Li Luoshu a birth-giving daughter pill, so that no matter where Li Luoshu sleeps, the woman he sleeps with will only have daughters.
Then, the system informed Yu Yao that the medicine had been administered.
Yu Yao nodded slightly, and from now on, she would just wait and watch the show.
"Host, there are hidden missions in this world. If the hidden mission is completed, you can receive rich rewards."
The system reminded again.
"What hidden mission?" Yu Yao asked in confusion.
"Ha ha, this needs you to discover by yourself. I can't disclose it." the system laughed.
"Will not discovering the hidden mission affect my completion of the mission in this world?"
She asked again.
"It won't affect you. The hidden task is random and not necessarily required to be completed."
The system replied.
"I'm relieved now."
Yu Yao felt relieved.
Glancing at Si Qin and Si Hua, who were busy putting the dowry into the storeroom, Yu Yao discreetly threw two loyal charm papers their way.
Seeing that the sincere charm papers had entered the bodies of the two, she smiled bizarrely.
Si Qin and Si Hua were Yu Wan's maids, and she naturally didn't trust them.
But with the loyal charm papers, there would be no problem.
Whether they are under the control of others or not, as long as they have used the loyal charm papers, they will only be loyal to themselves in the future.
Marquis Yongling's residence.
Grandmother Sun quickly appeared at the Marquis Yongling's residence and told Marquis Yongling everything that happened last night, as well as what Yu Wan had done to avoid being married to the King of Jin. She recounted it all in detail.
Marquis Yongling heard it and was shocked to the point of being dizzy and confused.
Meng's wife, also known as the wife of Marquis Yongling, was right there and naturally heard it.
Upon hearing the news, she began to cry out to the heavens and wipe her tears.
"My silly daughter, who gave you the love potion, why did you choose to marry that new imperial examination candidate instead of the rich and powerful Jin Wang's residence?"
Meng's wife appeared to be over thirty years old, her hair adorned with pearls and jade, her face round and plump, with a luster that exuded beauty. She was well-maintained, clad in luxurious silk and brocade, the quintessential Beijing noblewoman.
But at this moment, she completely disregarded her image and cried out loud.
She didn't care about the presence of Grandmother Sun, the outsider.
"Stop crying, don't you feel embarrassed?"
Watching his legitimate wife cry without regard for her dignity, Marquis Yongling's face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot, and he shouted in anger.
Grandmother Sun looked at Meng with a face full of empathy. Whoever had such a daughter would feel frustrated.
"Marquis Yongling, Yu Wan must have been swayed by someone's persuasion. How could she possibly choose to marry the new imperial examination candidate Li Luoshu instead of the Prince of Jin's son?"
What is Li Luoshu? Even if he has become the top scholar and entered the Hanlin Academy, his birth status is still there.
Unless a nobler gives him a boost, his position will remain like that.
How can it compare to the wealth and splendor of the Jin Wang Estate, which is a royal dynasty, just like the Emperor's family? How can such a fortune be handed over to that concubine's daughter so easily.
Meng couldn't help but feel her heartache upon thinking of her daughter marrying a sixth-rank official, while the concubine's daughter she disdains is enjoying the benefits at the Jin Wang Estate in her place.
Grandmother Sun wasn't pleased at this, "This was discovered by our King of Jin. Is there any falsehood in this matter?"
"Grandmother Sun, I didn't mean it that way."
Meng's face suddenly stiffened, realizing the Jin Wang Estate couldn't be offended, she reluctantly changed her tone.
Marquis Yongling ignored Meng and instead addressed Grandmother Sun, "Grandmother Sun, please inform King Jin and Queen Jin that since the bride has been mistakenly identified, we can only go with the mistake and acknowledge Yu Wan as the Princess Consort of the Prince of Jin's residence in the future."
Yu Wan is also his daughter, and this matter doesn't have a significant impact on him. In the future, they will still be in-laws with the Jin Wang Estate.
It's just a matter of changing from a legitimate daughter to a concubine's daughter.
"Marquis, what about Yu Wan?"
Meng's expression changed immediately upon hearing this.
Marquis Yongling glanced at Meng coldly and snorted, "That's her own choice. Since she chose Li Luoshu, she will be his wife from now on."
Meng wanted to say more, but Marquis Yongling was no longer willing to listen.
"Marquis, you are right. Since the message has been delivered, the old slave will now withdraw."
Upon hearing that the message has been delivered, Grandmother Sun didn't linger at Marquis Yongling's residence and quickly left.
Marquis Yongling instructed his steward to see Grandmother Sun out, and then went to Rongxi Hall to find his mother.
It is the elderly lady of Marquis Yongling's residence. For such a big thing, it is necessary to inform her.
